Forward, Mary Lucky Mkpa could have ended the morning with a brace had she had enough precision.
Despite the early promise by the Falconets, it was the Asians that came close to drawing the first blood on the quarter-hour, but Shukurat Oladipo got one foot to a teasing cross from the right.
Nigeria’s goalkeeper, Shukurat Bakare, almost gifted a goal in the 28th minute when she missed a pull-out, but the South Korean forward could only sky it.
At the other end, Mkpa had a chance of her own but slammed the ball a little too high after a brilliant pass from Rofiat Imuran.
Nigeria were again lucky just before halftime when Korea’s Myeyung rocked the crossbar from a 22-yard free-kick.
